Hjärtat Vet Vad Handen Gör [English translation]

"That's all too deplorable! Yuk!"

"Who the fuck are you?"

Take it as a promise and leave

Dose of daily poison became and urge

Despite everything, you can't understand

Chewing the butchered meat during your shift

Fact flows out and you believe

Slaves obey conspiration

The door shuts out your brother

Lust murder on a vague relation

War in a utopia

Kill the one who breaks free from symmetry

The parody became serious and we buy time

The people lose ground but we love the monarchy

The death is a tale in a land bought on credit

The scale, black as silver, weighted down by the hunt for dopamine

Intolerance disguised as a virtue

Secretly, empathy is hate

Soul critique on the web became safe

A throne for a modern psycopath

War in a utopia

Kill the one who breaks free from symmetry

The parody became serious and we buy time

The people lose ground but we love the monarchy

The death is a tale in a land bought on credit

The scale, black as silver, weighted down by the hunt for dopamine

When I was young

So much younger than today

It felt easy to live then

There was no time to lose

And no desire to understand

The weight/importance of pain

For the one who still visited every year

And the one never left my life

But behind my door

Was a realm

A secret map shows the way

To treasures of plastic

And pearls of glass

"Yuk!"
